Sorting plant
Denisort sorts 6,000 shoes per hour
A denisort line from Ferag will take over all relevant sorting tasks at Shoebox's new distribution center in Budapest from spring 2020. The system is 190 meters long and has 252 chutes arranged in two rows one above the other.
A Denisort system forms the core of the automated sorting solution for the Hungarian distribution network Shoebox at the future central logistics location near Budapest airport. It ensures precise sorting of products weighing up to twelve kilograms at comparatively low operating costs. With a sorting capacity of up to 6,000 units per hour, the system also enables a significant increase in efficiency in the retail company's logistics processes. It is also energy-efficient, requiring only three drives.
However, good performance was not the only reason why the customer opted for the technology developed by Ferag. Thanks to the tilting tray system, Shoebox retains flexibility with regard to future expansion of the product range. This means that the retail group, which currently primarily sells shoes plus corresponding accessories such as shoe polish, can also have items such as T-shirts, belts or clothing and accessories that match the shoes processed by the Ferag system without any modifications to the hardware.
The edged denisort trays, measuring 650 x 450 millimetres, are able to transport different products safely and deliver them gently to the chutes at the points specified by the system. The sorting trays are loaded by hand - at six work stations. as
